imo it's too pale; I know it's just wip photo but I'd apply more shading - simple watered-down wash would make a miracle

- marks on the cloak - dont know ..... im usualy doing such things at the end of painting or when i knew how the mini will be loking at the end - if yours mini have to be in the "dusty them" this golden marks dont fits this (unles you will glaze it too look dusty )

@ Maru - What I meant by free hand, was the symbols I painted on the robe in gold, were done on the model with out the sybols actually being on the model.
Thank you for your feed abck though from both of you. I will take these things into account.
Thanks much

On the freehand: Try with very thin layers, and build it up. Maybe first start with a brown, and when you have the right shape, go over it with gold.
And keep the red colour you used near to correct mistakes
That's how I do it most of the time after practising the freehands on a piece of paper.
For the robes I would use a couple more highlights. It looks a bit flat on the moment.

The color tone of the robe is nice, give it some more highlight and it will look great. The freehand looks rough and grainy. As ToMaZ says: try with more thinner layers. That's a game of patience

Well after the fiasco, the other night when I dropped the mini onto the paint mixing plate I was working over and covered it in blue paint, I stripped it and started repainting it. I will try and post some pics of the new paint job tonight. From 18 inches away it looks well highlighted, but up close it looks kinda of yuck.
Well Will let you people decide how it looks in genral after tonight. I think I am going to go with someone's suggestion of making the robe collar, sleeve cuffs an old gold metallic colour. Not sure how I am going to highlight it though.
Then I will try again with the freehand alchemy symbols with the suggestions listed here.
Thanks much.
